Albert Boxler
Alsace Gewürztraminer
Light golden yellow. Jasmine, spice and funk notes in nose. Lovely integrated honey and spice flavors, off dry, jasmine tea and cough syrup finish. Good acidity. I prefer my Gewurtztraminers drier, but for off dry this is complex and tasty.

Jan 21st, 2019Delicious. Everything you would expect from a Gewurtztraminer. Floral, aromatic, sweet spice. Bring on the Thai food.

Apr 10th, 2013Incredibly beautiful, perfumed nose, lots of floral notes (rose petals). Clean, pure, precise, very refined. One of the best Gewurztraminers I’ve ever had, from vineyards around Niedermorschwihr on granite soils (apparently, Gewurztraminer does great on granite…)

Jul 27th, 2023Took a minute to warm up, but once it did the nose burst open with notes of leychee, jasmine and sweet floral notes. The flavor was off-dry, with a creamy floral sweetness that cascaded over the palate, with a slightly mineral/slightly spicy mid-palate, and ends with a dry minerality and taste of wet river stones on the finish. First Boxler but definitely won’t be the last. PS: as it continued to warm, I became aware of how fresh tasting the wine was. I’m still waiting on the food to finish, but I’m excited to see how it will emerge.
